Global smartphone manufacturers of today are rapidly producing new phones every day. It is very much an inevitable thing, to be honest. Amidst the downsides to that thing is the short period of smartphone models to be on sale. Old models will always go down rapidly in the marketplace when new models are available. That kind of thing leads to a few things that those manufacturers need to stop doing today.
Rapid Releases
Some smartphone brands are known to be having new models one after another very rapidly. Look at the Redmi Note series from Xiaomi. The first release of that model was in 2014, while the latest model for 2020 is the Redmi Note 9. In just six years, there are nine models of Redmi Note already. The advancement of technology does not mean that it needs to go quickly to leave the old ones. It is a good idea that global smartphone manufacturers consider releasing new phones in a longer interval.
Go with the Flow
It is a thing that makes today’s smartphones not stand out at all. Today’s phones are more about the hardware inside the body. Meanwhile, the old phones are battling in terms of the design of the exterior as well. Look back at the time when Nokia has the 7610 in its unique shape. Another time is when Motorola has the original Razr. Both of them are iconic phones back in the old days. Today’s phones of many manufacturers look pretty much the same in many ways.
Crazy Specs
Is it necessary for an Android smartphone to have 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage for a person who buys it only to connect with families and friends? It is somewhat crazy to look at the products of global smartphone manufacturers of today in terms of the specs. The use of 4GB of RAM is now a common trend. Yet, a lot of people do not need that kind of thing at the moment. Many users of smartphones do not even know a thing about RAM.
Bulky Size
The smartphones of today are bulkier than ever. The use of a 6-inch screen is ordinary today. Many people find it too much to hold and operate a phone with that screen size. A phone needs to be operable without any problem using one hand. Some people with large palms may handle that screen easily. Some others may prefer to have a phone with just a 5-inch screen size. Global smartphone manufacturers need to consider producing phones with smaller screen sizes.
Reduce Items
Well, the latest fuss among smartphone enthusiasts about the new iPhone is about this matter. Manufacturers need to stop reducing items in the selling package of their new phones. Back in the old days, a new phone will have a charger and an earphone.
